"Did you see what Kai-Fu Lee said yesterday?" Bao Fan teased: "Completely annoyed Ant Financial!"

Shen Feng was stunned, he really didn't know about this.

"Nowadays, as long as we talk about the ownership and sharing of face data, it seems that everyone is in danger. In particular, Internet technology companies, which have a large amount of user data, must always hold high the sign of "security first, nothing to do with me". ”

"Especially Ant Financial, there is no one of the most trouble-prone financial big data companies at the moment!"

After Shen Feng understood the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help but sigh that as a public figure, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise he will be grabbed by the pigtails immediately.

It sounds like a few polite words to praise yourself, and at the same time to do a PR for the company you have invested in, and blow the wind for its listing.

But the most sensitive and privacy-provoking concerns among netizens has emerged, and Ant Financial's PR team has found the smoking bomb fuses and quickly doused them faster than the decipherable media.

I have to say that this wave of operations is indeed much smarter than Megvii, which was plagued by the "campus surveillance privacy dispute" a year ago, and Li Robin, who likes to tell the truth publicly.

In fact, from the perspective of technology and industrial facts, what Ant Financial said is not wrong, and Kai-Fu Lee is not wrong.

Because the cooperation between the two parties is limited to authorizing the ability of image recognition algorithms for Ant to be deployed and used separately, and does not involve the sharing and transmission of any data, there is no mistake in theory.

According to Ye Fei's words, large customers in the industry, especially large companies with a large amount of absolutely critical data, generally do not give data to AI companies.

The latter is to transplant the algorithm and platform support to the internal for privatization deployment, and the data is in the customer's own server.

After all, it is impossible for the father of a large Party A to be willing to share the data publicly, which is a common status quo. Therefore, as a technical service provider, it is generally customized according to the needs of Party A.

It is a large customer like Ant that puts forward various needs, and the technology company collects data on the private cloud platform according to the needs and then optimizes it, and they accept it to use it.

Unless you have some kind of higher-level cooperation, such as investment and financing, in which case it is possible, but it is only possible.

"In addition to avoiding subsequent over-interpretation of face data privacy issues in the future, Ant Financial has not only clarified itself so quickly this time, but also may be related to the background of Megvii being included in the entity list. ”

Bao Fan analyzed: "If these two points are continuously amplified, they may bring some adverse effects to the listing of this financial giant with a fundraising scale of up to 30 billion US dollars in the magic capital and Hong Kong Island, and will also have an adverse impact on Ali." "The first Chinese network

Shen Feng secretly laughed that the data privacy issues surrounding Ant Financial's financial credit business are no longer a new topic.

Some netizens have already broken the news that their friend Huabei can't be contacted for repayment, and the phone actually finds him?

The reason why he was able to find him, Huabei's customer service said that according to the records, he had given a gift to this friend on a certain day in a certain month?

For a big data + finance + technology platform that has mastered and may open up users' shopping, borrowing, logistics and other multi-dimensional information, data privacy is a popular topic that can easily get into trouble and will never end.

On the other hand, it also proves that AI technology companies have the control and voice of data, which is not worth mentioning compared with large companies.

Thinking of this, he said: "Li Kaifu is actually right, the so-called help for Megvii and other companies to get data actually means that they invested in Megvii and took projects back then, and they helped negotiate and reconcile in it, which played the role of a middleman." ”

It's just that he probably didn't think about the issue of data privacy, and at the same time forgot the current situation and demands of the ants. ”

"After all, no one is unclear that data is the king of face recognition algorithm training. With the first wave of real-world data drills provided by Ant, Megvii has the opportunity to improve the algorithm and computing power of the entire platform and get more contracts for similar projects. ”

To put it bluntly, everyone is pretending to be confused, but they are just leaking their mouths!

To take the simplest example, Ant's data may have its own characteristics, so Megvii must optimize the basic computing power and algorithms for these data.

So Ant's project can definitely help them, and the technical staff has also accumulated experience in this area, so they can transplant this part of their capabilities to other financial projects, right?

In other words, this kind of successful case will help Megvii get more customers of the same type, because many small customers may not necessarily do private deployment, and can directly use their public cloud services.

In this way, all face data will be run on the platform first, so it is equivalent to indirectly helping Megvii expand data accumulation.

In the era of intelligence, data is everywhere, from personal daily consumption to health, education and many other decisions, and the data distributed in various systems may not directly harm us.

Once these data are centralized, through data integration and information aggregation, the data can be corroborated and interpreted to each other, and a networked virtual self is born, and people's privacy is hidden.

Nowadays, Internet application users are willing to exchange privacy for some convenience, but are users really willing to give up their privacy?

In fact, they are all voluntary, and the right to use and the right to privacy must be chosen, and in the end, they can only voluntarily give up their privacy for the right to use.
